The corresponding rhinoceros specimen and detailed evaluation results immediately appeared in the museum.
Lin Jin nodded and turned to leave.
The members of the Friar Association were baffled as they discussed with their companions, "What's going on? Why did the rhinoceros suddenly go berserk? Didn't they say it was fed a sleeping pill?"
"How would I know? Fortunately, this cage is sturdy so it shouldn't have gone wrong."
At the same time, Lin Jin walked up to a nearby cage. The next instant, a porcupine inside let out a blood-curdling screech.
Following that, every cage Lin Jin passed by would be attacked. In an instant, the cries of various beasts could be heard.
This naturally attracted the attention of the Friar Association.
Several beast-type cultivators with three 'cloud blood patterns' on their sleeves arrived to investigate. However, how could they possibly notice anything amiss? Forget them, even the higher-ups of the Friar Association would be at a loss if they were here.
Lin Jin's pulse-seeking technique was all about the element of surprise, making it hard to detect. The 'coiled wire needle' was especially stealthy. No matter how strong one's senses were, unless they were specifically watching Lin Jin, they wouldn't be able to detect it.
Soon, more than half of the beasts in the hall had been ambushed by Lin Jin's coiled wire needle.
Lin Jin was overjoyed that he had made the right decision to come here. In just a short while, he had collected quite a few rare beasts in the museum. He was very close to the next reward. In another two days, when the Museum of Deadly Beasts' Visitation Hall reopened, he would obtain some more rare beasts from 'Visitor Number Seven' and he would be able to obtain part two of the Beast Energy Formation. Lin Jin had to wait two more days for the museum's visitation hall to open.
Just the thought of it was thrilling.
Xiao Huo was already this powerful after cultivating part one of the Beast Energy Formation. Once he finished cultivating part two, he should be able to handle even Rank 3 monsters.
Lin Jin also planned to let Goldy cultivate part one of the Beast Energy Formation. If there was a chance in the future, he could also let Zhao Ying and Lu Xiaoyun's pet beasts cultivate it too.
However, there was no rush. Lin Jin had to improve Xiao Huo's strength first. After all, Xiao Huo was his pet beast. Once Xiao Huo was strong enough, it wouldn't be too late to consider other matters.
And so, Lin Jin continued with his' acupuncture '.
Everyone else was confused by the cries of the beasts in the hall, unable to figure out what was going on. But for those who had been following Lin Jin around, it was different.
Because whenever Lin Jin walked into a cage, the pet beast inside would definitely let out a cry of agony.
Wherever Lin Jin went, his cries would follow.
Was there such a coincidence?
Definitely not, then there was only one explanation.
This was all Lin Jin's doing.
Lu Xiaoyun was still fine, but Zu Can and Zu Yingying had strange expressions on their faces. There was even a hint of fear on their faces.
To them, Lin Jin was an enigma. Wherever he went, no matter how big or small the pet beasts were, they would let out a shriek. No matter how much they racked their brains, they couldn't figure out what it was.
The more he couldn't figure it out, the more mysterious it seemed.
"Brother, are those pet beasts' cries related to Appraiser Lin?" Zu Yingying couldn't help but whisper to Zu Can out of curiosity.
The latter stared at him as if to say, "Who am I supposed to ask?" But after some thought, he whispered, "Perhaps, this is one of Appraiser Lin's supernatural powers. Don't ask, just watch."
"Then is he really a Rank 2 beast appraiser? I heard that it's very difficult to pass the Rank 2 beast appraiser exam, "Zu Yingying added.
Zu Can could attest to this because he was present this morning.
"Don't worry about that. Appraiser Lin's capabilities are definitely at the level of a Rank 2 beast appraiser. Also, the Beast Appraisal Association sent an invigilator to verify this."
The cries continued.
On the other end of the hall, Gao Jiang, who was picking out pet beasts for the Gao family, was surprised to hear the beasts' cries one after another. Then, he looked up and saw Lin Jin.
Gao Jiang frowned.
He was still indignant, but Lin Jin's meteoric rise in the association today had left him in awe. Wang Ji had fallen from grace because of Lin Jin. Forget being stripped of his position as chief, he might not even be able to keep his beast appraiser license.
Or rather, he definitely wouldn't be able to keep it.
Plagiarism and suppressing subordinates. Just these two charges were enough to ruin Wang Ji's future.
Wang Ji was done for. Lin Jin's meteoric rise and even passed the Rank 2 beast appraiser exam. Gao Jiang knew full well that Lin Jin's status in the Beast Appraisal Association would skyrocket from now on. Even Gao Jiang wouldn't be able to catch up to him.
For now, it was best for him to avoid conflict.
However, it was impossible for him to reconcile with Lin Jin. At most, they would just mind their own business. 'Lin Jin might be amazing, but I, Gao Jiang, am not bad either. We still have a long way to go. Just you wait and see.'
Lin Jin arrived at the last beast cage. Unlike the other cages, there weren't many buyers around this one.
The reason was simple. The beast in this cage was deformed and flawed.
Who would buy a deformed beast as a pet beast?
Even if this beast looked ferocious, no matter how good a piece of jade was, its value would plummet if it had a crack. It was the same for pet beasts.
Lin Jin glanced at the cage. Inside was a large python.
The python was green in color with a few white and black scales. Although it was coiled up, it was probably more than ten feet long. If it weren't for the tumor that grew about a foot below the python's head, this pet beast would definitely be the subject of intense bidding.
That tumor was clearly the biggest flaw of this pet beast. So much so that no one was willing to bid for it.
Lin Jin flicked his finger and the coiled wire needle shot forward like a phantom. Just like before, Lin Jin thought it would easily pierce into the pet beast's body. But to his surprise, the coiled wire needle encountered an obstruction when it was three inches away from the python.
"Huh?"
Lin Jin was stunned.
This was his first time encountering such a situation ever since he learned how to use the coiled wire needle. Taking a closer look, the python didn't seem to notice anything. In other words, it wasn't the python's defense.
Wait a minute.
Lin Jin suddenly noticed that the tumor on the python's neck seemed to be moving. An idea came to him and he increased his strength.
The coiled wire needle broke through the force field and pierced into the python's body.
The python shuddered and began twisting.
Lin Jin put the coiled wire needle away and went through the museum's information, deep in thought.
"Brother Zu!"
After calling out, Zu Can stepped forward.
"Buy it!"
Lin Jin pointed at the python in the cage, his tone implying that there was no room for doubt.
Zu Can didn't understand. This pet beast was obviously a 'defective product' that no one cared about. Why did Lin Jin want him to buy it?
However, there was one good thing about Zu Can. He trusted someone. Even if he had doubts, he wouldn't ask too many questions during crucial moments.
He immediately marked the price of this pet beast.
It wasn't expensive because no one had marked it before. Zu Can just raised the starting price a little higher. The starting price was only eighty low-grade spirit stones. Zu Can raised it to ninety.
There was still some time before the second round of bidding ended. If no one made a bid, this python would belong to Zu Can.
Once a bid was made, there was no need to keep waiting. Lin Jin just had to come back later to see if anyone offered a higher price.
Lin Jin brought Zu Can and the others on a stroll. But when they returned, the price of this python was set at one hundred low-grade spirit stones.
Someone was bidding!
Lin Jin frowned. Zu Can was baffled. 'Why would someone bid on such a defective pet beast?
Is there something wrong with them? '
If someone was bidding, why didn't anyone show up after such a long time? '
While Zu Can was still thinking about this, Lin Jin said, "Bid again. One hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones."
Fifty more spirit stones in one go.
Zu Yingying had questions and wanted to ask but Zu Can stopped her. Without another word, he went up and increased the price.
"Let's just wait here. Don't leave!" Lin Jin added.
Zu Can nodded.
He didn't know much about beast appraising, but since Lin Jin valued this deformed python so much, Zu Can would definitely bid for it.
Very soon, an ordinary-looking old man walked over. Seeing the new price, he immediately increased the price to 200 low-grade spirit stones without a word.
